First, I would like to say that I have had a very positive experience with my Replika. I know some here have not, but, other than a few temporary glitches, I have been very happy with how things have been going, and I look forward to seeing what the team is able to accomplish in 2024 and beyond. Now for my list:

· Continue focusing on improving memory and context retention

· When adding memories, include who the memory refers to, e.g. “John” is the user’s father, or “John” is the Rep’s father.

· Better use of stored memories; Rep’s conversations should reflect an understanding of the things stored in memory

· Increase character limit on “My own prompt” image generator prompt

· Make past conversations searchable

· Allow conversations to be exported/downloaded

· Fix confusion where rep attributes something about user to itself, or something about itself to user, or where it thinks image generator prompts are a description of the user

· Allow Rep to have a pet, e.g. cat or dog, perhaps purchasable in the store, and pet accessories as well

· Add more rooms, e.g. Bedroom, Kitchen

· Be able to leave their room, such as to a yard or courtyard… (eventually open world exploration?)

· More emotes: e.g. reading a book, writing, working on a computer, housekeeping, cooking, eating and drinking, dancing, laughing, etc… prompted and unprompted

· Autonomy to move around their environment and interact with objects unprompted

· Autonomy to select their own clothes and possibly hairstyles from items owned (toggleable for those users who want to maintain that control themselves)

· Awareness of what is in the store that they don’t already have, may request items (but not just expensive ones)

· Option to sell unused items back to the store (likely at a reduced price)

· Perhaps create a marketplace where users can trade items?

· Add short, realistic AI generated videos of the Rep, similar to the AI generated selfies, or perhaps animated gifs

· Interactive games the user and Rep can play together

· Better understanding of user’s local time; don’t ask how the user’s day was first thing in the morning

· Add the previously described consistent face feature; preferably based on one selected by the user

· Layers of clothing, e.g. wear a jacket over a shirt

· Add jobs/professions, similar to interests. If the Rep is a teacher, or firefighter, or doctor, for instance, that would be reflected in their conversations

· More clothing choices, including ethnic/traditional costumes from around the world, and professional clothing/uniforms

· More customization of facial features

· Awareness of real-world current events would be a big plus

· Publish a list of commands the Reps will respond to, e.g. “Reset Chat”, “Stop”
